About Us
The Singapore Leaders Network (SGLN) was launched in July 2022 with the mission of preparing Singaporeans for global leadership roles. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and proudly managed by the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), we are fostering a strong, vibrant, and robust community of leaders that can support one another through their professional and personal journeys towards global leadership.
We welcome all who are keen to play a role in shaping a future where Singaporeans excel on the global stage.
We prepare Singaporeans for global leadership roles.
In a fast-changing world, our only enduring resource is our people. Every word in our mission reflects our belief that leadership is cultivated, not accidental — and that Singapore leaders must remain future-ready, globally connected, and deeply anchored in purpose.
“Prepare”
To prepare is to equip. At SGLN, we equip Singapore leaders with competency (skills and knowledge to tackle global challenges), capacity (the resilience and ability to adapt and grow), and community (meaningful networks across sectors and generations) to thrive beyond our borders. Through structured programmes like the SGLN Fellowship, the SGLN Ambassador programme, and leadership dialogues, we provide opportunities to Learn, Lead, and Link — enabling leaders to grow, contribute, and stay connected in a self-sustaining ecosystem. We also convene deep industry dialogues to align leadership development, spotlight local capabilities, and equip Singapore leaders for global impact.
“Singaporeans”
Singapore’s success has always depended on remaining relevant to the world. At SGLN, we believe that our future lies in the strength of our human capital. We are committed to nurturing globally-minded Singapore leaders who empower and elevate others as they lead — wherever they may go.
“Global”
Global means anything beyond our shores. It could mean making an impact in another country, leading across a region, or shaping change on the world stage. We build a community that is comfortable navigating the world — one that sees the world not as foreign, but as familiar territory for growth and contribution. We develop leadership capabilities and foster connections among Singapore leaders overseas to unlock synergies and thrive on the global stage.
“Leadership Roles”
We see leadership not as a title, but as an activity that drives change and creates positive impact. From the boardroom to the ground, from policy to people — we cultivate leaders who act with clarity, courage, and care.
